As @techee said, why not add the filetype? Is it of too poor quality and cannot be made better, or is it a question of how much the language is spread? If it's useful I don't see why not adding it ptoperly rather than adding a hack like that :)
It was a question of "how much the language is spread" for me. But if we agree that it's fine to add a custom filetype, I'd be happy.
